Keep a copy of your data on this phone

I'm signing out of my phone so I can send it in for repairs, I did the back up and it says to sign out of your devices that are on the phone. The question on the phone says Keep a copy of your data on the phone and it has toggles for Photos, contacts, calendar, Safari, and Health. Do I say Yes?

Hi there 3lilmonkeysmom,


If that information is already stored in iCloud, there's no need to keep it on your device.


When you sign out, any data stored in iCloud will be removed from your device but will remain in iCloud. Before you sign out, you’ll be asked if you want to keep a copy of any of this information on your device.

Take care.
